It's full waur nor bein' possessed wi' deevils, an' maun be a hantle mair ooncoamfortable. But I wad hae yon door opent, my lord." "Nonsense!" exclaimed the marquis once more, and shrugged his shoulders. "You must leave that room. If I hear anything more about noises, or that sort of rubbish, I shall insist upon it.
I would hymn Peter Paterson, who across tracts of darkness engaged Old Bill in a conversation which would have done no discredit to a Gallowgate policeman. He pretended to be making reports and seeking orders. "We've gotten three o' the deevils, sir. What'll we dae wi' them?" he shouted; and back would come the reply in a slightly more genteel voice: "Fall them to the rear.
Like th' auld wife's parrot, 'we dinna speak muckle, but we're deevils to think, an' we're aye thinkin' aboot ye. An' noo I maun leave ye to mak' what ye can oot o' this, for I jalouse it'll pass ye to untaukle the whole hypothec. Fair fa' ye a'! Lang may yer lum reek, an' may prosperity attend oor clan! Aye your gude frien', Penelope Hamilton.
Then old McKay suddenly dropped his pipe, and looked at Dan with an expression of intense solemnity. "It iss my belief," he said in a hoarse whisper, "that it is them wee deevils the grasshoppers!" A very few minutes proved old McKay's surmise to be correct.
"Disgorge!" was the universal cry, or, in the vernacular, "Out you come, you sweer deevils!" Not a coin but had its history, not a boy who was unable to pick out his own among a hundred. The black one came from the 'Sosh, the bent lad he got for carrying in Ronny-On's sticks. Oh michty me, sure as death he had nearly forgotten the one with the warts on it. Which to spend first? The goldy one?
'Wha kens? answered he; 'they're queer deevils; maybe I might just have 'scaped ae gang to meet the other. And yet I 'll no say that neither; for if that randy wife was coming to Charlie's Hope, she should have a pint bottle o' brandy and a pound o' tobacco to wear her through the winter. They're queer deevils; as my auld father used to say, they're warst where they're warst guided.
You must have these men apprehended again. 'Aye, aye easy said; but catch them that can, answered the provost; 'they are ower the march by this time, or by the point of Cairn. Lord help ye! they are a kind of amphibious deevils, neither land nor water beasts neither English nor Scots neither county nor stewartry, as we say they are dispersed like so much quicksilver.
Sir Richard, ye are a fause traitor thus to endanger the safety o' your sovereign, and ye shall answer for it, if harm come o' it." "I am unable to account for it, sire," stammered the frightened baronet. "I gave special directions to the prickers to drive the beasts away." "Ye shouldna keep sic deevils i' your park, man," cried the monarch. "Eh! what's that?"
"Ye forget, serjint," he said softly, "that Miles an' Airmstrang are baith deed." "No, lad; no one can say they are certainly dead." "Aweel we canna exactly say it, but when ye consider o' the born deevils that have gotten haud o' them, we are entitled to think them deed ony way." "They are reported as `missing, that is all, and that is enough for me. You write down what I tell you, lad.
Thae smuggler deevils, when ony o' them's killed in a fray, they'll send for a wife like Meg far eneugh to dress the corpse; od, it's a' the burial they ever think o'! and then to be put into the ground without ony decency, just like dogs.
